The inauguration programme was attended by Ng John, Inspector II, ADC, Chandel, Pr Perhoi, Purum Chumbung village chief and Nongmaithem Yaiskul, Assistant Engineer, ADC, Chandel as presidium members.

Speaking at the programme, Ng John said that teachers posted in hill areas tend to use deplorable condition of roads and poor ac- commodation facilities as their excuses for their absenteeism.

To provide better facilities for teachers which in turn would make a big impact on the lives of students of hill areas, the barrack type quarters have been con- structed.

Improving the educational system and infrastructure of the Government schools in hill districts are essential to provide better platform to learn for students whose parents cannot afford to send them to private schools, he said.

He urged the teachers to maintain regular attendance and discharge their duties effi- ciently for the welfare of the students The programme was also attended by Ch Mesil (Ranjit), executive member, PWD, ADC, Chandel and M Moruson Maring, Member, ADC, Chandel.
